D-Day Benefit Bash!!
Hi All,
Just want to formally announce a benefit that my family and I are doing on Saturday, June 6, 8:00 at the Woburn Sons of Italy (Four Corners, Woburn, just off Rt. 95). The proceeds will go to the Bob & Miriam Margarita Scholarship Fund, which will be provided to one boy and one girl Stoneham High student/athlete. After his family (and of course his dogs), I think he loved Stoneham and Stoneham High more than anything.
He often said “I came to Stoneham for a job and I found a home.”
We will be featuring a tremendous Classic Rock band, Replay, as well as (*) Ready Steady Go!, Bucket of Blues and Ripple Effect (* Band line up subject to change). The food will be catered by Rig A’ Tony’s of Stoneham (sorry, cash bar). We will be raffling off several items including (but not limited to) four tickets in the lower bowl of a New England Patriots pre-season game, which they were kind enough to donate. Two pairs of tickets to go see comedian/political satirist Jimmy Tingle (60 Minutes II, The Tonight Show) at the Regent Theater on June 13 along with an autographed CD of Jimmy’s, a gift certificate for Anthony’s Italian Specialties and Delicatessen of Stoneham, two tickets to a future production at The Stoneham Theatre, as well as a door prize for $25 at the 99 Restaurant in Stoneham. You need to be there to win these, of course. There are more things in the works, too!
Tickets are $25 in advance or with a reservation, which can be obtained through the Athletic Office at Stoneham High: (781) 279-3806. They are $30 at the door that night. You may want to get your tickets in advance as my Dad’s popularity around Stoneham could mean that this event might sell out.
For those of you that didn’t know my dad, I’m adding a link to his obituary from the Boston Globe as well as a piece that I wrote for my column in the Stoneham Independent.
